Yes Satish ji these are pseudobulbs. The difference between BSI flora and Dr. Almeida 's flora as we have been discussing on this group is mainly the new combinations that Dr. Almeida has suggested in his flora based on the difference between the type description having been initially wrong. It is complicated but now I am beginning to understand this and I think most certainly Eria dalzellii was wrongly placed. Good that we are able to compare and get the best from both the floras !!
